Does the games industry need more time to catch up? (BeefJack.com)

BeefJack's Matthew Lee analyses whether the games industry needs more time to catch up with the likes of cinema.

"Games are a young industry, people say. They’ve not been around that long. Developers need time to find their feet. You can’t compare videogames to film – cinema took a hundred years or more to get where it is today. It’s a tempting position to adopt, one that people take up time and time again as more and more people argue over whether or not games are art, or if videogames are a waste of time and so on. But you can make a very good argument that in many ways it’s nonsense."
